Journalists are always on the hunt to look for better
improved ways for narrating tales and this factor has made them stand out
amidst everyone as the scrappiest and the most creative users of modern technologies.
Do we need to prove it? Have a look at the way The New York Times was the brain
behind coming up with an innovative type of interactive web bound journalism in
2012. “Snow Fall”, what the paper had achieved that year had used comparatively
newer tools so that they could incorporate videos illustrations about animation
and more to provide its readers greater insights in the interiors of a
harrowing piece about a deadly avalanche in the Cascades.
Lately The Washington Post had come up with a publication “Sin
Luz” which is an interactive life account in Puerto Rico after the landfall of
two separate hurricanes post September. According to a journalist to convey
this sort of destruction is a herculean task specifically when the audiences
are used to viewing damage images brought about by hurricane
Along with the usual photographs videos animations maps etc:
the piece is inclusive of photogrammetric reconstruction of mountain sides which
are inhabited and it resembles a pile of rubbles.
In 2017, the continuous fall in the cost of capture
technologies has paved way for drones and Photogrammetry software so that everyone
gets access to these things even for the journalists. Due to this they’ve
learned a lesson where the commercial 3D industry learned these long times ago:
3D models assist in putting unaware viewers inside space or on an unidentified location.
